$1 vs $2,500 Lightsaber

A cheap inflatable toy that he treats as a joke starting point.

A fine option for the money, with thick plastic, a retractable blade and LEDs.

A noticeable step up with better attention to detail and motion-sensor sounds.

A metal saber that feels responsive enough to make him feel ready to take on the dark side.

The top saber leaves the cheaper ones behind, with a spinning kyber crystal, LCD and sound that adjusts to swing speed.
